... ... ... ... ..... ds on interest to make investment in shares then also the dealing in shares is business transaction. Because of these reasons we are of the considered view that the decision of the Hon’ble Delhi High Court pronounced in the case of Sunbeam Auto Ltd. (supra) as relied upon by the assessee is on different facts and, therefore, it would not apply on the facts of this appeal. Rather, the decision in the case of Gopal Purohit (supra) as pronounced by the Hon’ble Bombay High Court has given certain guidelines to determine as to whether share transaction can fall in the category of “Short Term Capital Gain” or “Long Term Capital Gain”. In the light of the discussions made hereinabove, we, therefore, conclude that the learned CIT has rightly invoked his revisionary powers and judiciously passed the order u/s 263 of the IT Act. We hereby uphold the order. 7. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is dismissed. Order pronounced in the open Court.

Furthermore, the impugned confiscation notice dated 18.11.2011 issued u/s 124 of the Act during the pendency of this writ petition is based merely on the aforesaid seizure, which has already been held to be illegal, arbitrary and perverse and hence when the base, namely the seizure goes every structure thereon including the confiscation notice also will have to follow - petition allowed - decided in favor of petitioner.

... ... ... ... ..... er, we note that there could be bonafide belief for availability of Notification No. 74/93. In fact the decision relied upon by the ld. A.R. in the case of Executive Engineer, Irrigation Department (supra) has itself held that there could be a bonafide belief and the intention to evade duty cannot be made out and extended period was not invokable. We also note that it is only subsequently with the declaration of law by the Larger Bench in the year 2008 in the case of Asstt. Engineer (Civil), the benefit of the notification was finally held to be not admissible to the goods manufactured in factory belonging the State Government. For all such reason, we are of the view that the extended period cannot be invoked against the appellant. Accordingly we dispense with the condition of pre-deposit of duty confirmed this count. 8. The pre-deposit of interest and penalty is also being disposed of the stay petition is allowed in the above terms. (Dictated & pronounced in open Court)

... ... ... ... ..... squo;ble Delhi High Court in the case of “Parivar Seva Sansthan”, 254 ITR 268(Del) is also to the same effect. The ld. DIT(E) does not question the payments made by the assessee to either CLEIS or CLIL as not being at arm’s length and the only basis of attack is that the payments were made to the “specified persons” , which basis, as seen, is not available, much less sustainable. 33. Thus, considered from any angle, the action of the ld. DIT(E) in refusing grant of continuation of approval u/s 80 G of the Act to the assessee Trust is illegal, irregular, arbitrary and unsustainable in the eye of law. The grievance of the assessee in this regard is justified and is accepted as such. The order passed by the ld. DIT(E) is cancelled and he is directed to grant the approval u/s 80 G of the Act to the assessee, as requested by the assessee. 4. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is partly allowed. Order pronounced in the open court on 10.02.2012.

... ... ... ... ..... uestion no.3 was not dealt with by this Court previously. Therefore, the appeal should at least be admitted on that ground. We set out this ground hereinbelow - “Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case the Tribunal was justified in law in deleting the additions of ₹ 13,22,883/- on account of guest house expenses?” On careful perusal of the judgment and order of the learned Tribunal it appears that the learned Tribunal has dealt with this point in the manner as follows - “On appeal the learned CIT (Appeals) following the order of the learned Tribunal for Assessment Years 2000-01 and 2003-04 held that the issue is covered in favour of the assessee in assessee’s own case.” Against this judgment of the learned Tribunal no appeal has been preferred. Under these circumstances this appeal is not required to be admitted on the aforesaid ground also. All parties shall act on a xerox signed copy of this order on usual undertakings.

... ... ... ... ..... der section 263 dated 12.3.2010 is received by the assessee to attend the office on 18.3.2010. In this connection we have to submit that the notice is illegal, bad in law, and without jurisdiction looking to the facts and circumstances of the case. ...................." Even by the proviso added to Section 292BB of the Act, nothing contain in the Section shall apply where the assessee has raised such objections before the completion of such assessment or reassessment. In view of above, it can be said that Section 292BB of the Act does not come to the rescue of the Revenue. 6. So far as merit of the case is concerned, since we have found the assumption of jurisdiction itself void-ab-initio, therefore, we are refraining ourselves to deal with the issue on merit, consequently, on assumption of jurisdiction, we allow the appeal of the assessee. Finally, the appeal of the assessee is allowed in terms indicated hereinabove. Order was pronounced in the open Court on 28.2.2012.

... ... ... ... ..... ., as also the customers of the respondent No.1 had been recorded. While recording the submissions made on behalf of the parties, in regard to the submission made on behalf of the customers, we had recorded that the customers were apprehensive of the burden of the Value Added Tax, imposed by the State of U.P. 2. Thereafter, we had indicated that this was a matter which would be decided by the High Court, where it is pending determination as to whether Value Added Tax was payable in respect of the goods being transported through the State of U.P. 3. Accordingly, we clarify our order of 23rd January, 2012, and direct that in the paragraph beginning with the words "On behalf of the State of U.P.." the sentence beginning with the words "We once again indicate" and ending with the words "payable or otherwise" shall stand deleted. 4.

... ... ... ... ..... s for its client M/s Aquazur India Pvt. Ltd. on labour charges basis through the year and not on stary occasion. Under these circumstances, and in view of the decision of the Hon’ble Bombay High Court in the case of Bangalore Clothing Co. (Supra), we are of the view that ld CIT(A) has rightly held that A.O was not justified in rejecting assessee’s claim that its case is squarely covered by the decision of Hon’ble Bombay High Court in the case of Bangalore Clothing Co. and accordingly, the Ld CIT(A) has rightly allowed the claimed deduction to the assessee. The same is upheld. The issue is thus decided in favour of the assessee. Related grounds are rejected. Consequently, appeal is dismissed. 56. To sum up result of these appeals, ITA Nos. 372/PN/2002 & 1111/PN/2005 are partly allowed; mITA No. 626/PN/2002, ITA No. 1386/PN/2005, ITA No. 1193/PN/2007 & C.O. No. 01/PN/2008 are dismissed. The order is pronounced in the open Court on 29th February, 2012.

... ... ... ... ..... e authoritative pronouncement of the Supreme Court, this court cannot decide otherwise. Hence we dismiss the appeal without any order as to costs. Once the issue is decided by Hon’ble jurisdictional High Court that the amendment in the provisions of section 40(a)(ia) of the Act by Finance Act, 2010 is remedial and curative in nature and TDS paid on or before the due date of filing of return u/s. 139(1) of the Act, deduction in respect to the amount on which TDS is so paid, is allowable. In the present case the assessee has deducted TDS in March 2007 and paid in May, 2007 and pertains to AY 2007- 08, that means the TDS was paid before due date of filing of return u/s. 139(1) of the Act by the assessee. Hence, we allow the claim of assessee. In view of the above factual and legal position, we confirm the order of CIT(A) and this issue of revenue’s appeal is dismissed. 5. In the result, appeal of revenue is dismissed. 6. Order pronounced in open court on 29.02.2012.

... ... ... ... ..... he payment is made in a village or town, which on the date of such payment is not served by any bank, to any person who ordinarily resides, or is carrying on any business, profession or vocation, in any such village or town;” However, rule 6DD(g) will not come to the assesee’s rescue as its place of business premises being Hubli which was adorned with a number of leading Banks. However, taking into account the peculiar circumstances under which the assessee was placed and also in conformity with the finding of the earlier Bench cited supra, we are of the considered view that the assessee was placed in an exceptional circumstance to make the cash payments to the extent of ₹ 1.08 lakhs, the authorities below were not justified to invoke the provisions of s.40A (3) of the Act in the assessee’s case. It is ordered accordingly. 9. In the result, the assessee’s appeal is partly allowed. Order pronounced in the open court on 10th day of February, 2012.

Disallowance of interest expenditure - Held that:- Short mistake pointed out is that while disallowing the amount of Interest paid of ₹ 5,41,838/-, the Tribunal has not granted the netting of interest earned of ₹ 35,203/-, which was an alternate plea of the counsel of the assessee. In support , during the hearing, an assessment order for A.Y. 2009-10 is placed for due consideration.

... ... ... ... ..... as the ld. CIT(A). Even if it is assumed for the arguments sake that the above only shows that assessee was trying to generate loss in the above transaction, there is nothing wrong with the same because it can be called as an instrument of tax planning. As pointed out by the Ld. Counsel of the assessee that in the case of Walfort Share Brokers P. Ltd. supra wherein the Hon'ble Supreme Court was seized with the question whether the transactions of purchase and sale of mutual funds were genuine wherein an advertisement was issued by the Mutual Fund that one could get tax advantage by getting tax free dividend and advantage of capital loss, even then such transaction was held to be genuine by the Hon'ble Apex court. Therefore, in our opinion, these transactions cannot be called sham transactions and accordingly we confirm the order of the ld. CIT(A). 16. In the result, Revenue’s appeal is partly allowed. Order pronounced in the open Court on this day of 3/2/2012.
